April 23 - N.E.W. DIRT officials met at the Seymour Speedway this afternoon and have cancelled their 2013 season opener set for this week, Sunday April 28. Club President, Tom Schmidt said "the weather has not co-operated enough to allow crews to work the track at all this "spring", and we do not want to have problems on opening night."

The opener will now be set for Sunday May 5, racing at 5 PM.

Schmidt also announced a track work day for this saturday, April 27 starting at 9 AM. There are several projects that need attention before the first race. Anyone is welcome to come out and lend a hand.

There will also be a practice set for this Sunday, April 28, weather permitting. Drivers will have a chance to shake down their cars before the opener and it will also help to pack the track in. Practice will run from 2 til dark. Concessions will also be available Sunday as staff gets everything in final order for the opener. Grandstand will be open free of charge.
